CASE Programme

Looking for a PhD which gives you the opportunity to work with an industry partner?

Our CASE studentships will give you the opportunity to work in partnership with industry, undertaking an industry placement and benefiting from an industrial supervisor as part of your supervisory team.

You will benefit from joining the BBSRC DTP community of over 220 postgraduate researchers, partaking in a broad range of training opportunities including the annual DTP conference.

Below are the CASE projects that have secured funding from the DTP for recruitment in October 2024. Click on the project titles to read more about the project, and on the supervisor's name to contact them for more information. 

Applicants will be able to apply for either or both of these 2 CASE projects, as well as making an application to the DTP's standard scheme.

Round 2 of recruitment is now open until Friday 3 May for Home students only.
